Don't want to start a new thread, so dropping Richard Nixon here:eek: Nixon was quite musical, and played five instruments: piano, saxophone, clarinet, accordion and violin. After leaving the White House, he also gave some thought to rap music. On an audio tape at the Nixon Library, the former president can be heard saying (”I have often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.” It wasn’t just instruments Nixon surrounded himself with; he kept company with some famous faces of the music industry as well: On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to the White House (after writing a letter promising to help Nixon fight hippies and communists, and during the meeting he also promised to fight the Beatles. The mind reels. 'I am not a crook.crook.crook.'

Picked up a nice vinyl copy not long ago. Neil plays acoustic on 1 side, where the other is electric with Crazy Horse. I preferred the acoustic, but both sides contain 'Hey,Hey, My,My', the standout of the album. 'Marlon Brando, Pocahontas & Me' is memorable too.

I also love the 'Live Rust' double album from the same year (1979). Fantastic performance and selection of songs IMO. I wish I had seen Neil live back then. Picked up a nice vinyl copy not long ago.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967, Parlophone) 2014 MONO reissue Beautiful packaging and terrific sound quality. Listening with the mode switch set to Mono on the MC 2205 amp. I stopped by a local haunt this afternoon on the way home, they have the individual Beatles Mono LPs on sale. I had my sights on Sgt. Pepper, $17.99 sale price + $3 off coupon. And they threw in a free T-shirt.

Silver Platters, Bellevue. Lenny Breau, Cabin Fever.

Rhapsody download. As solo as it gets. Alone in the room with the tape running, from the sound of it. Seems improvised as well. Suicide, Half Alive.

​After Velvet Underground, the most seminal, influential group in Rock. I saw them once back in the day on TV and the impression has never left me. Every once in a while I listen to 'Frankie Teardrop' to keep it real. Unless you are very grounded I would not recommend it. Veedon Fleece is my favorite Van. His only Irish release to date, I think. Crosby/Nash - Live (1977, ABC) Listening to side one with Immigation Man - back home after a couple of weeks in France and Switzerland.

A long travel day yesterday and a fair amount of time with the immigation man at Kloten/Schipol/SeaTac. 12 hours of sleep and an extra day off work should help kick the jet lag. Nash's book is in my to-read stack. Thanx for the tip, I just put a hold on the library DVD:) Trailer looks great! Just put this in my Amazon cart--thanks for the heads up. Frida is a sweetheart. While you're at it.check out the Lewisohn book on the Beatles - Tune In (if you haven't yet.

I listened to a few chapters on the audio version checked out from the local library during vacation, it looks like a very good read. Was reading an article on Kate Bush in Mojo magazine and she mentioned a number of artists and their work that intrigued her when she was working on her 1985 album The Hounds of Love. Anyway, I knew of Eberhard Weber from many other albums (Gary Burton and such), but didn't know of his 1979 album Kate Bush mentioned called 'Fluid Rustle'. It arrived in the mail today from Amazon. So its on the Big JBLs via the Jolida tube amp. Bonnie Herman - Voice Norma Winstone - Voice Gary Burton - Vibraharp, Marimba Bill Frisell - Guitar, Balalaika Eberhard Weber - Bass, Tarang 63405. Weber has been/was/is, not sure, house bassist for Manfred Eicher's ECM Records.

His work with Ralph Towner there in 1972-74 is still some of my favorite music, ever. Weber is one of the most interesting bassists I have ever heard, along with Jaco. Solstice, ECM 1060, and the somber follow up Sound And Shadow ​show Weber stretching out in a fantastic quartet. Rounding it out is house drummer Jon Christensen and a very early Jan Garbarek (who has never recorded on any other label). Jan played like a lion in those days.

Towner played both guitars and piano on those sides. These days he lets John Taylor handle the piano parts, a reasonable plan given Taylor's genius with the keys, but Ralph is an astonishing piano player in his own right. Norma Winstone I hear on some of Provovateur Record's titles.

She has worked with my fave Maria Pia De Vito there, on a release by Colin Townes, the label's head. Impressive talent, she.

Come on - the whole thread is pretty meaningless unless you make SOME kind of comments about the music itself, good, mediocre, insufferable. WHo played on the album, why it matters - SOMETHING. Just pasting pictures of album art that is hosted on external servers slows the hell out of the whole thread too! I will be sure to keep that in mind. Thru December 2014/IMG_6012_zpsad1a041e.jpg (thru December 2014/IMG_6012_zpsad1a041e.jpg.html) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album (by the English rock (band the Beatles (Released on 1 June 1967, it was an immediate commercial and critical success, spending 22 weeks at the top of the albums chart in the United Kingdom and 15 weeks at number one in the United States.

Time (magazine declared it 'a historic departure in the progress of music' and the New Statesman (praised its elevation of pop (to the level of fine art.[1] (It won four Grammy Awards (in 1968, including Album of the Year (the first rock LP (to receive this honour. In August 1966, the Beatles permanently retired from touring and began a three-month holiday from recording.

During a return flight toLondon (in November, Paul McCartney (had an idea for a song involving an Edwardian era (military band that would eventually form the impetus of the Sgt. Pepper concept. Sessions for the Beatles' eighth studio album began on 24 November in Abbey Road Studio Two (with the original intention to record an album of material that was to be thematically linked to their childhoods. Among the first tracks recorded for the project were 'Strawberry Fields Forever (and 'Penny Lane (but after pressure from EMI (the songs were released as adouble A-side (single; they were not included on the album. In February 1967, after recording 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (McCartney suggested that the Beatles should release an entire album that would represent a performance by the fictional Sgt. This alter ego group would give them the freedom to experiment musically.

During the recording sessions, the band endeavoured to improve upon the production quality of their prior releases. Knowing they would not have to perform the tracks live, they adopted an experimental approach to composition, writing songs such as 'With a Little Help from My Friends ('Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (and 'A Day in the Life (The producer George Martin (innovative recording of the album included the liberal application of sound shaping signal processing (and the use of a 40-piece orchestra performing aleatoric (crescendos.

Recording was completed on 21 April 1967. The cover, depicting the band posing in front of a tableau of celebrities and historical figures, was designed by the English pop artists Peter Blake (and Jann Haworth (based on a sketch by McCartney. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album (that advanced the use of extended form (in popular music while continuing the artistic maturation seen on the Beatles' preceding releases. It has been described as one of the first art rock (LPs, aiding the development of progressive rock (and credited with marking the beginning of the Album Era (An important work of Britishpsychedelia (the multigenre album incorporates diverse stylistic influences, including vaudeville (circus (music hall (avant-garde (andWestern (and Indian classical music (In 2003 the Library of Congress (placed Sgt.

Playing the album now via the Jolida tube amp and KEF 105.4 speakers in the plant room downstairs. Roy was one of my all time favorite guitar players. I saw him many times in concert, he used to do an annual show in Pittsburgh around Christmas. There was one performance where someone set off a smoke bomb and they had to evacuate the theater. I hung around and after they got the place aired out went back in and Roy started playing again. Only about 5% of the crowd was still there so we were all up close.

You could tell that Roy was pissed off by what happened but determined to give the rest of us a good performance. His live performances had to be experienced, better than any of his studio work. I was very sad the day I learned he committed suicide, what a loss.

Thanks for sharing the story. Jacqueline du Pre; Dvorak, Cello Concerto, Chicago Symphony Orchestra EMI Classics, newly remastered. Roger Sessions, String Quartet, Canons (to the memory of Stravinsky). Naxos American Classics. These two recordings are like the alpha and omega of my 'classical' moods. One the one hand I love many of the twentieth century pieces, everything about them. The Roger Sessions is musically a joy for me.

Compact ensemble, thrilling yet almost somber material, altogether concise in nature and immediate in presentation. Modern and challenging. Any competent quartet of musicians would float my boat with compositions like this. On the other hand, the Dvorak is the sort of piece I usually cross the street to avoid. While not quite as bloated or as possessed by musical lines way too 'cute' for me as most Romantic era large orchestral works are (like the Russian composers that are a staple of most 'classical' programs at symphony halls), it is still for me obnoxiously both diffuse and bombastic at the same time. A perverse accomplishment, I suppose.

Orchestras grew so large because before amplification there was no other way to produce volume. Even admirers of this style will have to admit the feeling and tone color were lost in the process. Also, in this as well as many/most other similar compositions, to my sensibilities dynamics takes on a role of 'wow, look what we can do with all these instruments re: dynamics.' Having grown up in the era of electronic amplification, I am not impressed by the technique, or its overuse. So why am I listening to it? The performance is beyond great to my ears.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra certainly helps, but here it is the soloist. That du Pre's life was cut short by MS was a wretched, cruel personal tragedy, but the loss to music was monumental. Very few soloists, no matter how talented, were as capable of elevating an entire outstanding orchestra to such levels as she routinely did.

While many cellists are so ridiculously good that you have to admire them, she directly thrills on a non intellectual level. She was so accomplished here that it would be bad taste on my part not to seek this performance out. Mind you, this is a typical performance from her, so feel free to check out anything she recorded.

This is a nice recording, though, to give the technicians their due. All that said, musically I prefer the piano trios included on Warner Classics' A Lasting Inspiration Volume Two, Jacqueline du Pre. But to be honest I could listen to du Pre playing the phone book on a poor recording. By the way, this French sounding name belonged to an English girl. I have not seen films of her performing, but I have read that she was, involuntarily, very animated when she played. Her energy was physically as well as musically palpable.

Jimi Hendrix Not all rejections are wrong. Sometimes a person needs to be told that he or she should consider a different career.

Such was the case with a young Johnny Alex Hendrix, who chose the Army over jail after getting caught stealing cars. His stint was short-lived, though.

He was discharged after being found '. Poorly motivated for the military.' The author of this report seemed to know already who Jimi Hendrix was, even before he was Jimi. The report states, 'Pvt Hendrix plays a musical instrument during his off-duty hours, or so he says.

This is one of his faults, as his mind apparently cannot function while performing duties and thinking about his guitar.'

I've been called a 'habitual offender' myself. Alexander Spence - Oar (1969, Columbia) -1C / -1 recycling a picture from awhile back.

A haunting listen, even without considering the circumstances around the recording session. Described as 'one of the most harrowing documents of pain and confusion ever made',[6] the album was recorded after Spence had spent six months in Bellevue Hospital. Spence had been committed to Bellevue following a delusion-driven attempt to attack Moby Grape bandmates Don Stevenson and Jerry Miller with a fire axe.

Great playing and sound quality on this record, particularly like Chris Etheridge's bass. That was such a great era for the Stones and those recordings sound so rich on vinyl. You are correct, of course.

'One More Try' One of the first of the band’s albums to be issued in Britain in ‘full frequency stereo sound’. There are six different tracks to the US version, and although there are three Jagger/Richards songs there’s only one group written song, meaning this, in marked contrast to the US version of the album, has a preponderance of covers on it.

There is not a hit single on the album, which probably accounts for it failing to become the band’s third number one in succession on the UK album charts, although it was not unusual at this time for artists to release albums without including their singles. I've got Pandora playing.sounds pretty good thru the 24/192 DAC. Anyway, Inna-a-godda-da-vida just finished up. Yeah, many of us know every note, but this was the LIVE version.the middle drum solos (2 drums?) is MUCH better than the album cut. Really outstanding:D (version A live version reaching over 19 minutes long was released as part of their 1969 live album, simply titled Live (This version lengthens the drum solo by roughly four minutes and the organ solo by about one minute.

It also omits the bass and drum solo jam (heard from 13:04–15:19 on the studio recording). The Beatles - s/t (1968, Apple) 70's Capitol Purple label pressing; MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the deadwax, all sides; 'Gene' on sides 2/4 deadwax [Gene Thompson, mastering engineer], 'Jay' on side 3 deadwax [Jay Maynard, mastering engineer]; Another one of these wonderful impressive sounding Capitol purple label pressings, and what an incredible collection of songs. As Paul McCartney said in response to questions about whether it would have been better to release a single LP or two separate LPs: 'It's the bloody Beatles' White Album.

The Who - Quadrophenia (1973, Track) TML in the deadwax unfortunate sticker peel and writing on the label, but the LPs are in terrific shape. This album was astonishing first listen back in '73. I remember first hearing it at a friends house. The bass playing on The Real Me is incredible - and continues throughout, and thunderous drumming. Walked out for the morning paper and saw a box from Amazon on the front porch - opened it and found Pink Floyd - The Endless River box set I had pre-ordered a while back - CD and BluRay audio box set.

It was due Nov 10. CD plays well. I'll listen and enjoy the bluray surround mix much later! 4 Let us know how you like it. I seriously considered pre-ordering it but held off. I've heard every different pre-opinion ranging from it was handed down by God to it was swept up from scraps on the cutting room floor. I like it quite a bit!

I'm a fan of the older albums - grew up with Ummagumma and Meddle, DSOTM and WYWH. It took me a while to make friends with The Division Bell - and, of course, this is built on out takes and tracks from that era - but there is only 1 song with vocals, and the rest is instrumentals - and def a fine Floyd fest. I got the BluRay/CD version and have sampled both - but I have mostly listened to the CD so far. Very fine sonics, fine tunes. Let us know how you like it. I seriously considered pre-ordering it but held off.

I've heard every different pre-opinion ranging from it was handed down by God to it was swept up from scraps on the cutting room floor. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!! While I fix the traditional breadcrumb stuffing and cook a breast of Turkey (full turkey is way too much bird for just Emma and I!) - I've just started this playing. 50 years ago, John Coltrane recorded 'A Love Supreme' in Englewood Cliffs: _in_englewood_cliffs.html 63691 (_in_englewood_cliffs.html). Warren Zevon - The Envoy(1982, Elektra) TML-M, Monarch symbol; mastered by Doug Saxnice I saw him in a little bar near Northampton Mass about a year after that came out. He didn't come on till almost midnight and did a solo keyboard/vocal set.

We were already pretty inebriated by then and there were joints being passed under the table during the show. Never the less a memorable night. Another artist we lost too soon. Linda Ronstadt - Hasten Down The Wind (1976, Elektra) Promo/WLP My favorite Ronstadt album and not just for the cover art. Great sound quality and a great showcase for her singing with songs written by Karla Bonoff (3), Tracy Nelson, Ry Cooder, Buddy Holly, Willie Nelson, the title song by Warren Zevon and a couple by Linda herself including the sublime Lo Sienta Mi Vida.

Purchased as a new release, around the same time as Zevon's Exciteable Boy. Certainly a different side of Zevon than Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner and Lawyers, Guns and Money. I picked up Karla Bonoff's debut LP shortly after hearing this LP. :eek: Bob Dylan, In New Album, Will Cover Frank Sinatra:confused::crying::eek: Here's the track listing: 1.

That Lucky Old Sun. My least favorite LP of the Doors is Morrison Hotel.

The only single release from the LP was You Make Me Real/Roadhouse Blues. Neither were big hits. I ripped only Blue Sunday, Ship Of Fools, Queen Of The Highway and Indian Summer into my iTunes. I had a friend that was a fan of the Doors that I made an exercise tape for. She wanted nothing but Roadhouse Blues over and over for a complete side. She hated Hello, I Love You, so I did one of that tune, too, over and over as a joke and gave it to her first with her thinking it contained Roadhouse Blues. She was a good sport.
